\n Is Mat-Su Healthy? How can we make it the healthiest pla
ce in the country? The general public is invited to help answer these que
stions at a series of meetings scheduled in April. Mat-Su Health Foundati
on (MSHF) has been working in association with other organizations to cond
uct a Community Health Assessment to identify the major health needs of Ma
t-Su residents and work with the community to prioritize and address those
needs. One phase of the assessment is a workplace survey that has already
been completed. In addition\, health data from a variety of sources has
been compiled and analyzed. The next step is to share information collect
ed so far and get direct input from local residents. Mat-Su Health Founda
tion is providing free child care and refreshments at every meeting. All
attendees will be eligible to receive a free pool\, ice rink or health clu
b pass as well.
